Nice good to see someone do it the almost exact same way. Takes alot to put yourself out in the open. Remember in the late 80s when you would beg somone to show you the kata again. Now they look a your video to refresh nice.
I agree, it's been awhile since I have done this form and I googled Mr. Hopper's form because it is exactly the same as what I was taught a couple of years ago. I actually started practicing again and got caught up in the middle not being able to finish. Looking at Mr. Hopper's form it came back to me. That is what is great about kenpo. It came be different yet it is all the same.
Our school,Steve Lavalllees, has a kempo base. We have a kata that we call bookset that is derived from this. Ours is shorter and simpler. Yours has a more authentic and traditional feel. And your performance is spectacular. Congratulations.

I just watched this with the sound on...I had forgotten when I filmed this that my son, 8 at the time, was manning the camera, and there are lots of sounds of him jumping around behind the camera. Funny.
And thank you soo much for putting this up, I took some time off from karate as a black belt and just restarted about a month ago. I have to reteach this kata to myself for a demo in two weeks and this video is a godsend
I understand that each person puts some of their own "style" into a Kata, but you certainly do 100% better than Mr. Ralph Wroblewski. You put power, focus and dare I say, a little passion into the Kata.
Mr. Wroblewski has great form, he is very smooth. I have never met him or trained with him but he was taught by my instructor and has a school in the Cleveland area. I like watching the "older guys" do forms, they are very smooth and make it look effortless, which is where we want to be.
If your planning on doing the last third you should really do the first two parts over. Not only the movements are differant but how it was originally taught will make you even understand how and why it was changed but there is no comparisson if you want the orignal it is out there and no Al Tracy does NOT know it. And by the way. Bungi translates to basic so if nallison123 is a hung gar or other traditional kung fu teacher he or she is propbably right.
There are quite a few differences in the first part of the form when the entire kata is done. There are several Tracy's instructors that know and teach the extended version, and Al Tracy endorses it, but does not teach it.
this is only half of the form that was handed down... i think james ibrao is the only other one that knows the rest of the form... im not to sure if Mr. Tracy knows the rest...lol he probably does...hehe this is all so a breathing set... if u watch Mr. Tracy do this form on video... he says u have to breath on every motion... he's very vocal with the breathing aspect to this form... but well done though... my panther set is a bit different... i learnt mine through ralph chinnick... good job
Usually when you get kenpoist together no one does the forms and techniques exactly alike. Having just learned book set this is the first time I've seen someone else doing it the same way. It's good to know the flame is being handed down. Great Form
Thank you. I recognize the beginning but the end threw my off. I was under the impression that you had changed the form as some people tend to do. The form looks very good. It is obvious that you have worked it and practiced it often
No, Tiger & Crane is a different form. I teach it also. I have the Tiger part of the form on youtube. This is a form called Bun Gi, which is also a hung gar set.
Moves are clean sharp you will defens your self.

The opening is similar to tiger and crane but it's defeinatly Panther set. Nicely done I might add. Tiger/crane is Much longer.
